open handed

everyday we're asked to trust. trust in both things seen and unseen. the chair you sit in. the teller at the bank. the mechanic who fixed your car. or even the very God who holds your heartbeat in His hand. so often we find ourselves feeling violated in our trust, by others, ourselves or even God. and after being hurt by any of the previously listed, we have a choice to make. to keep on worrying and stressing over things we can barely control, or... to not. and give it up. trust. again.

i'm thankful today for friends who have beautiful gifts and abilities that speak to my soul. thanks, dan.

"Take my eyes take my mind it is of use to me no more

cause all I see and i find has left me somewhat less than sure.

And everyday it is the same, as I sit here and complain,

Runaway is all I ever do whenever I'm afraid;

Cannot deal with the consequences of decisions I have made.

I no longer want my choice, close my mouth and be my voice,

And sing for me, cause I've got nothing left to say.

I have found myself and I need somebody Else,

So take my eyes, take my mind it is of use to me no more.

Cause You are sight, and I am blind without You, weak and insecure

my mind's not easily renewed, so I guess it's up to You."
